House of the week: 94 Amelia Street

It doesn't get much more adorable than 94 Amelia Street. Located on a quiet stretch of Cabbagetown, this Victorian cottage is cute as a button. Don't let the quaint outside deceive you, however. The interior has been extravagantly renovated. It's a tale of two houses with a modern kitchen and bathrooms, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a vaulted ceiling on the second floor. It's a modern house inside a Brothers Grimm fairytale cottage. You might not want to replicate the pseudo-Versailles look in the living room, but that's just other people's junk anyway.

This house makes full use of the outdoor space in this leafy neighbourhood. French doors open onto the backyard, and the bedrooms on the second and third floor both open onto balconies. A dipping pool in the backyard may not be at the top of your "must haves" list, but it sure won't hurt when the humidity of July and August set in. And if you're longing for more greenery, it's only a short walk to Riverdale Park -- perfect for families with kids, or dogs, or, frankly, just people.

Cabbagetown lovers. A house couldn't be much more reflective of the Cabbagetown vibe than this one. And only a short walk from both Riverdale Farm and Parliament Street, this house is smack dab in the middle of the neighbourhood. Stop for a coffee at Jet Fuel after a bike ride, or take the dog to the weekly farmers market in Riverdale Park, and you can embrace this community within the city.

MOVE ON IF

Alhough the house could be toned down with different furniture and decorations (maybe leopard print carpet isn't your thing, for example), it's never going to have a rustic cottagey feel. Oh, and the feigned elegance of the decor is reflected in the price tag. Even for the coveted Cabbagetown, a near $2 Million dollar price tag is pretty steep. Start counting your pennies!

I've been to several cocktail parties at this house. The fancy furniture is only downstairs in the living room, contemporary elsewere. The owners are a nice couple. And trust me the house looks better in person. They usually decorate the outside for Christmas, and add a six foot wreath at the top of the front gable!

The price on this home is just fine. It's over 3500 sq feet, 10 mins from the CBD, with a pool and 4 car parking. Another house a stone's throw away went for $2.4M recently- 100% of asking. There will be multiple offers on this place once the right buyer finds it. Detached homes in Prime downtown are costly.

I love the house, really cute and if I could afford million dollar house I would consider. The immediate neighborhood, shown on Google maps, is very cozy with small quite leafy streets; However the close proximity to Parliament street,St James Town is kind of a deal breaker.

2m ??? That is a price for a moron.. for 2 bedrooms come on… I would pay 425k for this, nothing more…Heck even less.. Considering this house has been paid off 100x over. The price is ridiculous for how small it is. As well Cabbagetown is getting over ridden with crime. Speaking from experience, I live in cabbagetown..
